Duplicareus cory Duplicareus cory 3-4cm This calm species is perfect for a mature softwater aquarium, and it’s best to keep them in groups of 5 or more due to their shoaling behavior. To prevent barbel infections/erosion, it’s crucial to provide a soft sand substrate instead of gravel. Regular maintenance, like frequent partial water changes, is essential to ensure the fish stay healthy. Create shady spots with driftwood, rocks, and dense planting. Other peaceful species like pencilfish, tetras, and rasboras are great tankmates, and having them as dither fish in midwater will encourage the Corys to come out more. Corydoras can breathe air intestinally, so leave a small gap between the water surface and the tank cover for them to come up and take air. They may do this multiple times a day. Pictures are of the fish in stock, if require any more please get in touch all sizes are approx
